The Workplace Relations Minister hopes WorkSafe's incoming culture shift will show they're there to help, not hurt.

Minister Brooke van Velden told Mike Hosking businesses shouldn't have to sweat the small stuff.  

She says there's a culture of over-compliance and too much paperwork, instead of a focus on the risk of death or serious injury.
